Hey all of you baseball prospectors out there or those in love with the rookie card. The 2011 Bowman baseball checklist is now live thanks to the wonderful people at Topps. It’s your first glimpse into who will be inside 2011 Bowman baseball this year.

Me? I’m not a prospector so I don’t care who is in the product unless it’s a player on my team, the Boston Red Sox. Yes, another Red Sox fan/collector here. At least I was born and raised in New England and had my first Sox jersey as an infant.

The only prospecting I do is if I pull someone’s autograph. For instance, I’ve been sitting on Josh Johnson RC Auto /299 since the day I pulled it. It’s funny how I couldn’t move it at the time I pulled it in 2006, I guess that just helps me out. I’ll sell it when he throws a no-hitter this year or wins NL Cy Young. That’s the extent of my prospecting.

So all you prospecting fanatics out there, this post is for you. Go get your Bryce Harper cards or whoever the hot rookie is in that product. May the mojo be with you over the long term because if it’s not, you wasted a ton of money on 1000 chrome cards of one guy.

I hope your Strasburgs are recovering well from Tommy John surgery.

UPDATE: Bryce Harper has been added as a Chrome autograph as well as a Prospect autograph.
